<![CDATA[Children with autism often experience significant communication difficulties due to delayed or absent language development, which hampers their social interactions. One factor influencing communication development is the parenting style applied by parents. This study aims to identify the relationship between democratic parenting styles and language skills in children with autism at SLB Putra Harapan Perak, Bojonegoro Regency, in 2023. The research design used is a correlational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The population of this study consists of all autistic students enrolled at SLB Putra Harapan Perak, with a total sample of 14 respondents using total sampling. Data was collected through questionnaires distributed via Google Forms, and data analysis was conducted using estimation curves. The results showed that the majority of respondents with non-democratic parenting styles also faced language difficulties, with 6 respondents (66.7%) showing language issues. These findings indicate that democratic parenting styles positively affect language skills in children with autism. The more democratic the parenting style, the less likely the child is to experience language difficulties. This study suggests that parents of children with autism adopt democratic parenting styles to support the development of their language skills.]]>
